When I went Easter Sweet hunting this year, I found that my favs were less about technical skill and elegance and more about adorably funny characters that made me laugh. So, hey, I'm going with it. Here's hoping they give you a smile, too.

Each one is adorable but I agree that last one is a crack up! I LOVE it! Wish I'd seen this sooner since I already made my boring, but good tasting, cake for today. I guess there's next year! I really liked this post alot!

Mel is a good friend of mine - not only is she super dooper dooper crafty and talented but she is also one of the nicest people on the planet. So fun to see her cake featured as one of the cute ones :)

The basket is perfection! I guess I forgot I was reading about cake, and thought we just had a picture of a simple elegant Easter basket. Then the little brain cells kicked back in, and I was really impressed. Awesome!

Aww! I have a love/hate relationship with cakes like these. On one hand, they are adorable, well done, and . . . well mostly just adorable! But the thought of them being potentially sliced up and consumed makes me very sad.

Jen, you lost me with that first one. I understand it is a holiday and you may have had a personal relationship with this designer, but that is clearly BUTT CLEAVAGE filling in for this lamb's face!! I really thought you would have caught this wreck. But most of these others I love, I especially love the last one, most likely based on one of my favorite cartoon characters, Sheldon from Garfield and Friends.

I love those, and the chicks on sticks were THE cutest Easter ANYTHING I've seen in forever. The basket? I thought 'Nice, but I thought this was a cake website with edible stuffs.' WOW. That is awesome!!!!

My Mom used to make cakes just like the bunny one. She made them for a few of our birthdays and, of course, for Easter. It's not hard to accomplish, but I have seen SO many people wreck that design. Whoever did that particular cake did an amazing job though, the cheeks are just so adorable!

Oh, gosh, I love the bunny, and the basket, and, and, and . . . I love them all! --- Except for the butt disguised as a lamb pancake. Parents are going to accidentally let their children see that and have all sorts of awkward questions to answer about butt plugs.

They're all so adorable! Especially the chicks-on-sticks. Sooo cuuute! Great work all. Except for the lamb. Or rather, the cross-eyed, road-flattened pig with a pacifier that is trying to masquerade as a lamb. Yikes.

The blobular characters are adorable, and remind me of the unbelievably delicious brownie-pops I had at a function recently (nicely iced, but not super-cute like this).

Those hatching chicks are how a cupcake should be!!

The bunny cake reminds me of what my mother did for my fourth birthday: a catapillar (a row of cupcakes) with green-tinted icing and green-tinted coconut (and licorice antennae). Soooo cute! And thanks for the memory.

I **LOVELOVELOVE** eggbert!!!

That basket is unbelievable. I thought it was a regular basket with cake pops for several minutes, though. WOW to the talented decorator.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
